Dozens of doctors have attacked the use of police to lockdown 3000 residents living in public housing tower-blocks, saying they are being unfairly vilified for Melbourne’s sudden COVID-19 spike.

Nine towers were declared infection hotspots and placed into a minimum five-day “hard” lockdown on Saturday.
